Me too. Saw Sylvia Ng on TV holding the Yoneyama wooden racket in the SEA (or was it SEAP??) games & fell in love with her immediately. Loved the way she played, I think Susi Susanti is a mirror image of her. Not physically though but their style of play. She won the gold medal then if I am not mistaken. Think it was maybe 1976?? Anyway, I would still prefer the professional commentators doing the commentating, even though I do still love Sylvia very much.

No, the crowd in JB is more price-sensitive than Kota Kinabalu. Kota Kinabalu prices were higher, but the event was also more professionally managed. Quite a number of the fans turned away when they got to know of the ticket prices.

The only thing better this year was the quality of commentating from Gillian Clark. Good thing too, since I was only able to go to the stadium for Friday and Saturday's matches. Even missed most of the final today on TV, because of a prior engagement.

Perhaps its not the problem of the price? perhaps its the problem with the 'Participants'

I thoroughly enjoyed the recorded final day matches on RTM1. Sylvia Ng was Malaysia's badminton queen of ages past; she may be very good on the court but to get her to commentate on live matches when she is not up to it really spoiled it. I had to turn the volume down as I found it irksome. No offense to those who love Sylvia but I would prefer the lone good Malay commentary throughout.

I just watched some candid video via youtube and i have to agree with you though. And this suddenly reminds me of Brother John Burgess hey, at least this guy is better than sylvia.
